The scanning facility with an optional scanning cartridge is not supported by free software drivers.<p> Parallel, and <a href="http://www.physiol.usyd.edu.au/daved/linux/bjc-80.html">IRDA</a> ports (all working), no USB, optional battery pack, automatic feeder for up to 30 sheets. If it is too big for you, use the ultra-portable BJC-50/55 which are principally the same printer but without sheet feeder. Note that the cartridges are rather small, and so the expenses per page are probably very high. So you should buy this printer only if you really need to print when you are on travel. In addition, the resolution is lower than the resolution of most modern desktop inkjets.<p> The Canons are the best solution for portable printing with free software. They are small and light, have a reasonable resolution and speed and their printing capabilities are fully supported. The portables of HP are rather heavy and the Brother MP-21C (PCMCIA) is a "Paperweight".<p> To get the best quality out of it for all kinds of printing jobs (text, drawings, photos), use the "gutenprint" (former Gimp-Print) driver. Then you get photo printouts with a quality close to the quality of the Epson Stylus Color 440. The "bjc600" works well for text and drawings, but has problems with photos.<p> The BJC-85 is the same printer but with additional USB.<p> Consumables/Refills: 1 CMY and 1 small black or 1 large black cartridge<p></en> </comments> </printer>
